In November we helped Shaynna and the crew from Selling Houses Australia reduce the noise in this heritage cottage on the outskirts of Sydney. Last week the show went to air and the results exceeded all of our expectations.
Selling Houses Australia - Series 5 - Railway Cottage

This was amazing. In the 14 years that I have been working at Magnetite I have never seen a house in such an awkward situation. Isolated on a grassy area it looked so serene even with train tracks next to the house. When the train came it was a different story. It truly felt like the train might come through the lounge front door before curving at the last moment and passing by the side of the house. If I put my hand out the side lounge room window it felt like I could have given the conductor a high five as he passed by.

The Selling Houses Australia team takes on some of the hardest to sell houses in Australia. They address the real issues facing the property owners and provide current and practical advice on how to sell the impossible.

The cast and owner on this project were fantastic. Shaynna, the designer, was lovely to work with, as were her support team. They all got their hands stuck in and it was amazing to see how the home transformed in such a short time.

The great news was the house sold!

Magnetite Australia

Magnetite Australia is specialises in providing acoustic and thermal insulation for existing windows and doors. Our double glazing systems have been independently tested by the National Acoustic Laboratories and the Window Energy Rating Scheme (WERS) in line with National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) regulations.

Our Products

Soundtite
A secondary aluminium system that is specially designed to reduce noise through an existing sliding window or sliding door. The system can be designed to slide horizontally or vertically to match the existing aluminium window function and design.
Magnetite®
A magnetic secondary glazing system that attaches discreetly to the inside of a window reveal. The system creates an air cavity which acts as an insulation barrier against noise and temperature to reduce the noise and creating a comfortable, stable indoor temperature.
Solartite
Solartite works in conjunction with Magnetite, providing a solution for existing glazing that require a reduction in radiant heat. Applied to the inside layer of the existing glass, Solartite will reflect the heat before it enters the air cavity created by Magnetite, delivering maximum performance.
